Pancito and the night that changed our lives
There are customs that one doesn't imagine how much harm they can do, until they affect us personally; hopefully our experience will be useful for something.
TL;DR
- A family and their neighbors set off fireworks on New Year's Eve.
- A stray dog, frightened by the fireworks, ran into the street and was hit by a car.
- The dog was taken to a veterinarian and found to be in shock but suffered no serious internal injuries.
- The family felt guilty and decided to stop setting off fireworks.
- They adopted the dog, named him Pancito, and he became a beloved member of the family.
- The experience taught the family a lesson in empathy and the importance of considering animal welfare.
